If I'm Still Not Home Lyrics

If I'm still not home when you're ready for bed
Please don't lie awake wondering where I am
Cause I'm sorry, I couldn't make it in
If you call my name and I don't come in
Please don't think that it's something you did
Cause I'm sorry I couldn't tuck you in
It's just not fair to know you could think I'd want to go away

I lie awake by the window
I contemplate like I just don't know
My eyes submerge with water
So please don't think I could let you go
If you're feeling sad and you can't understand
How you could hear my voice and not hold my hand
I'm so sorry I, I couldn't pick you up

I lie awake by the window
I contemplate like I just don't know
My eyes submerge with water
So please don't think I could let you go

Just so you know, you're my shining light, every night
that takes me home
When I'm still not home when you wake up
Please don't feel like you should give up on me.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think the last part...

"Just so you know, you're my shining light, every night that takes me home When I'm still not home when you wake up Please don't feel like you should give up on me."

Should be...

"Just hold on, you're my shining light, every night, that takes me home. Just hold on, you're my shining light, every night, that takes me home. If I'm still not home when you wake up Please don't feel like you should give up on me."
